Group - Food Security by Oumayma, Sumin, Taeho, and Younghwan
Introduction
According to the 1996 World Food Summit, food security is defined as “the state in which people at all times have physical, social and economic access to sufficient and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs for a healthy and active life.” The importance of food security is escalating rapidly more than ever amidst the issue of climate change, agricultural production and the COVID-19 pandemic. World Food Programme (WFP), recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize of 2020, warned the international community that “the huge risk of food security will be synchronized after COVID19 pandemic.” With this increasing importance in mind, our project aims to explore the relationship between political and economic development indicators and food security to eventually find out the significance of political and economic development and their impact on food security.
What is the ‘Global Food Security Index (GFS Index)’?
Global Food Security Index (GFS) is a dynamic quantitative and qualitative benchmarking model designed and constructed by the Economist Intelligence Unit with the sponsorship of Corteva AgriscienceTM. The index, which is published annually since 2012, measures the extent of food security of 113 developed and developing countries in four different aspects: food affordability, availability, quality and safety and natural resources and resilience.
